They Don't Make'em Like My Daddy Anymore Chords

(ver. 2)
Loretta Lynn
    They Don't Make Them Like My Daddy Anymore

                                              Loretta Lynn.


G      
I wasn't much more than a baby, I thought he was a bear,
                             D
The Way my Daddy carried me around.

They said I learned to walk

While holding on to just one finger,
                                               G
On the hand of a man that's standin' six foot, three.




Not old enough to understand the meaning of depression:.
                                   D
Just somethin' people talk about a lot.

My Daddy wasn't one to try to make no big impression,
                                                 G
Just one heck of a man that worked for what he'd got.


          (Chorus)
                            C
They don't make 'em like my Daddy any more.
              G                                   D
Guess they've thrown away the pattern through the years.

And in the great big land of freedom, 

I know that we really need 'em:
                                      G
They don't make 'em like my Daddy any more.




To the hills of West Virginia,
                                       D
My Daddy worked down in them dark cold mines.

Education didn't count so much as what you had for mem'u
                                            G
Like the will to live an' a dream of better times.



Daddy never took a hand out; we ate pinto beans and bacon,
                                              D
But he worked to keep the wolf back from the door.

And it only proves one thing to me, 

When folks start bellyaching:
                                      G
They don't make 'em like my Daddy any more.



 Repeat Chorus
